Phantogram

Josh Carter and Sarah Barthel have been crafting their own blend of genre-bending music since coming out of nowhere with their debut in 2010. The longtime friends first formed the project that became Phantogram in the small village of Greenwich in upstate New York, and quickly drew attention for their innovative melding of electronic, melodic indie rock with hip-hop beats & samples.

And things just kept going from there. They've been sampled by the likes of A$AP Rocky and Kanye West. They've collaborated with a diverse group of artists across the music spectrum, including The Flaming Lips, Miley Cyrus, Tom Morello, A-Trak, Future Islands, Run the Jewels, Charli XCX, and Big Boi. They've worked for years to raise money for mental health programs and to encourage suicide-prevention awareness. All the while, they've released a series of incomparable albums and toured the world, becoming one of the best live bands around, headlining festivals, and continuing to push their music in new directions.
